Or: How a 17th-century labor dispute created the culture war you’re losing your mind over You ever notice how the loudest people on Twitter have absolutely no idea what they’re talking about?

There is a man who does not chase. He does not perform. He does not demand. He is not looking for a notch, a conquest, or a validation. He is looking for a partner. He is looking for someone who reaches for him as he reaches for her. He is looking for mutual, enthusiastic, active…
